Mark Moreland's page

Here's the promised info for those wondering what this morning's email was about.

These pics are great! I love the overhead shot and the one with the minis in the foreground. Great job Zrinka, both for some non-standard gamer pictures and for all your hard work.

Today we launched a new homepage at PathfinderWiki that should prove easier to use for many people. Links to thematic portals are now more visible at the top of the page, and we've added a new "Did you know?" feature to provide trivia from recently edited or created articles rather than just a single featured article each week. We've also implemented a "New and notable" section drawing attention to recently-released Pathfinder products allowing users to quickly go straight to the product page and from there to related articles.

Stop by PathfinderWiki and let us know what you think on our Facebook page or Twitter feed.

Congrats, Mike! I look forward to working with you on Dustpawn.

To the runners-up, if you want to write for Paizo and accept a forthcoming offer to write a Pathfinder Society Scenario, then I look forward to working with each of you as well.

Great contest, folks! You should all be really proud.

I won't lie; it was Final Fantasy that got me into gaming way back in my youth. While the franchise and I have had a tumultuous relationship over the years, namely as some games became more future/tech-oriented and less fantasy/steampunk, I still get every game that comes out on a system I own as soon as possible. So today my preorder of FFXII-2 came. I was less than thrilled with XXIII, with its railroad movie-watching experience and then grinding-intensive post-game to get all achievements, but I've heard this one solves a lot of the problems in the previous outing.

Anyone else playing it, and if so, what are your thoughts?

Hey folks!

With the release of this month's scenarios tonight, two new experiments in how we handle multipart experiments have gone live. I'd like feedback from the community (organizers, GMs, and players) about which of the two methods you prefer, how you think rewards along these lines could be improved, or if you think trying to reward people for playing arcs in order or consecutively is stupid and shouldn't ever be done again.

Now, before people start suggesting it, the current release schedule contains very few instances in which we can release two scenarios of the same tier in a given month, meaning we can't put out a full series in fewer than two consecutive months. I know that's an issue many people have with multiparters, and should we ever change our release schedule, it's something I'll keep in mind.

When providing your feedback, it's very helpful for me to know whether you see yourself mostly as a player, a GM, or event organizer, as that will help me understand from what angle you're analyzing the two approaches.

Thanks for your participation and for taking the time to let me know what works for you and what doesn't so we can continue to make the campaign the best it can be.

Congrats to all the new venture-captains and venture-lieutenants.

Farewell to Doug and Mark; you both did excellent work in your regions and Pathfinder Society is better for your service. Don't be strangers!

Product page now live! Feel free to discuss the special and review it here. It will remain exclusive to conventions and special game days until August of next year, when it will be available for general purchase. To schedule this scenario at your local Pathfinder Society event, please contact campaign management at pathfindersociety@paizo.com.

Observant Pathfinders may have noticed something new on each thread in the Pathfinder Society forums. We now have a FAQ queue specifically for Pathfinder Society rules questions. You can find the Pathfinder Society FAQ here.

If, in the course of discussing the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign, you feel that a specific question or rules clarification should be included in the FAQ, simply flag the post as an FAQ candidate and we will review it as quickly as possible. Not all flagged posts will be added to the FAQ, but we will consider them all and either respond in the post's thread with a clarification, move the thread to the Pathfinder RPG Rules Discussion subforum for general rules questions, or add the query and answer to the FAQ.

In the coming weeks, elements from version 3.0.3 of the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play that were deemed too situational or class-specific to justify a presence in version 4.0 of the Guide will appear on the FAQ, as will additional clarifications and rulings based on ongoing messageboard discussions.

Thank you all for your interest in the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign and your ongoing efforts to improve it through clearer rules documentation.
